A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Multiple Subcutaneous Injections of ABT-981 in Patients With Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Biological: ABT-981
Biological: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT01668511
Lead Sponsor
AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)
Brief Summary

To assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-981 in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Detailed Description

This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study. Thirty-six patients with osteoarthritis of the knee will be selected to participate. Patients will be randomized to receive either ABT-981 or placebo. ABT-981 or placebo will be administered as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections in four dosing groups. Subjects will be administered subcutaneous injections of ABT-981 for up to 8 weeks.
